The figuration serves as a pivot to establish dialogues and conversations with dissimilar elements and in some cases polar realities; At these intersections, both aesthetic and conceptual (and, often, transcultural) mixtures and syncretisms are produced. I pay special attention to the transition between the graphic, the pictorial and the sculptural: to the interaction of the three and the two dimensions in the same body of work. Digital graphics and photography often play a catalytic role in the game of absence and presence of the object, although most of my works are formed as a mixture of one or more techniques. In my work, the existential and the comic are conjugated in a hybrid language that is above all experimental and ludic. Javier Felipe González E. -Javier Félix- Colombian artist from Bogotá (b.
